alright everyone lighten up please! 

I decided to go with an attorney and I still love this forum. I decided to do it because my busy schedule just didn’t have the time gap for me to put everything together. And my attorney experience was easy. I just filled out a quick questionnaire and sent over required pics and she put it together for me. Yeah it sounds like I did all the work but I just wanted to have the ease of the attorney to go over my work to prevent simple RFE’s. If it makes you feel better do it. Made me feel better and honestly she did everything ina week for me. If it was in my hands it would have take months. If you have the time to look at this forum for everything then don’t get an attorney. If you don’t then do hire one. Mine was very nice and helpful and processed everything within 2 weeks. She wrote all my statements and descriptions. If you want her info let me know 

Please send info.  Thanks.

This forum is better than all the lawyers in the world combined and help here is up to speed, and free. EDIT: As long as you're willing to do a bit of your own leg work, i.e. read simple instructions.

This site is largely people who didn't hire attorneys - if they'd hired attorneys they'd ask them the questions, rather than asking here.   Impossible to say without knowing your situation,

OP, also keep in mind that when you pay all those thousands of dollars to hire "an attorney," that the person who actually fills out forms for you based on information you provide, and submits documen

The OP hasn't mentioned (that I've seen) the country of his beneficiary.  This can make a gigantic difference in the composition of the I-129F package.

 

OP, see personal message sent yesterday.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I'm considering hiring an attorney named Michael Gurfinkel to handle my K1 visa.  Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about him?

Ram1009,

 

After 25 responses (I did not count the one that <Asked everyone to lighten up> you did not receive ant answer to your original question. Even I failed to give you a proper answerer which now I wished I had **Note to Self; Please try and remember to try and answer the question. If I can’t add anything constructive say nothing!!

 

Ram1009, thanks for providing this opportunity to look at myself.
